Of  Unusual  Interest 

TO  THOSE  WHO  LIVE  IN  HOUSES 


1* 

ELIEVING  that  no  argument  is  needed  to  convince  the  public  that  the  proper 
place  for  a door  when  open  is  in  the  wall,  (thus  avoiding  the  many  annoy- 
ances, as  well  as  the  loss  of  valuable  room  caused  by  swinging  doors,)  the 
Perfect  Sliding  Door  Company  took  up  the  work  of  perfecting  sliding  doors,  by 
making  them  practical  and  satisfactory  for  general  use  throughout  dwellings 
and  office  buildings,  where  the  saving  in  wall  and  floor  space  would  be  worth 
much  more  than  their  cost.  This  cottage  plan  shows  the  False  Economy  of  using  swing- 
ing doors.  Our  Sliding  Doors  require  no  thicker  partitions  than  are  used  for  Swinging 


Doors,  they  leave  the  entire  floor  surface  free  for  any  desired  use,  and  the  walls  on  both 
sides  of  partitions  can  be  used  for  pictures  or  drapery  without  any  interference  from  the  doors. 


3 


To  accomplish  this,  they  found  it  necessary  to  invent  many  new  appliances. 

The  following  are  some  of  these  inventions,  which  have  been  thoroughly  tested  and 
patented: 


WALL  POCKET  STRUCTURES,  to  enable  the  use  of  sliding  doors  in  single  studded 
partitions,  no  thicker  than  commonly  used  for  swinging  doors. 

STEEL  WALL  POCKET  STRUCTURES  of  similar  dimensions,  for  fire-proof  build- 
ings. 

AN  AUTOMATIC  SLIDING  DOOR  to  take  the  place  of  double  acting  swinging 
doors,  which  have  proved  objectionable  in  many  ways. 

AN  INTERLOCKING  WALL  DOOR,  for  either  wood  or  fire-proof  partitions  of  any 
thickness,  from  7-8  inch  up,  which  is  as  perfect  in  its  action,  and  as  secure  and  tight  when 
closed,  as  though  it  slid  into  a pocket  in  the  wall. 

A Hanger  and  Rail  of  Superior  design  and  Construction  that  affords  great  strength,  re- 
duces friction  to  a minimum,  new  and  better  adjustable  devices  that  are  always  accessible 
without  taking  off  any  of  the  parts,  and  the  whole  combination  of  mechanism  so  arranged  that 
it  can  easily  be  taken  out  or  re-installed,  without  injury  to  the  wood  trimmings. 

A Hanger  that  is  practically  frictionless,  that  will  roll  on  a single  track,  having  its  side 
arms  extending  below,  and  with  its  connections  entirely  around  the  track,  thus  incasing  the 
rail,  making  it  impossible  for  hanger  to  run  off  the  track,  even  with  the  roughest  usage. 

Cantilever  Supports,  fastened  to  the  Vertical  Posts,  A-B,  to  support  the  rail  and  firmly 
clamp  it  at  the  ends  only,  thus  to  avoid  any  deflection  in  the  rail  by  possible  warping  or  sag- 
ging of  the  horizontal  head  timbers. 

A NOISELESS,  SELF-ADJUSTING  ROLLER  GUIDE  that  prevents  vibration  and 
holds  the  door  in  true  alignment.  Always  in  contact  with  the  door  ready  to  minimize  noise- 
producing  influences. 

A SUB-MOULDING  of  hardwood,  for  bottom  of  door,  which  provides  a perfect,  friction- 
less groove  for  the  roller  guide  wheel. 

A BUFFER  that  stops  the  door  without  noise,  and  will  cause  it  to  close  itself  by  reaction, 
when  desired. 


4 


A FRONT  GUIDE,  to  insure  perfect  centering  of  the  door  on  the  jamb,  when  closed. 

A SLIDING  DOOR  LOCK  with  adjustable  latch  that  instantly  catches  and  holds  the 
door  when  closed. 

A DAMPER  CORD,  (weather  strip  and  door  cushion  combined  in  one,)  to  prevent 
noise  and  shut  out  cold  draughts. 

A METAL  SOFFIT  in  place  of  wood,  to  lessen  distance  between  Door  and  Rail,  also 
to  insure  more  accurate  work. 

These,  and  many  other  improvements,  embodied  in  the  present  Perfected  System,  have 
cost  years  of  inventing,  experimenting  and  testing  in  actual  use.  More  than  forty  United 
States  Patents  have  thus  far  been  obtained,  with  others  pending. 

Patent  Office  Records  show  that  the  Perfect  Sliding  Door  Company  are  the  Pioneers  in 
developing  a system  for  the  use  of  Sliding  Doors  in  single  studded  walls,  which  makes  it 
practical  to  use  them  in  place  of  Swinging  Doors. 

Augustus  Newell,  of  Chicago,  seeing  that  this  could  be  done,  has  the  credit  of  proving  it 
and  obtaining  the  first  U.  S.  Patent  in  this  line.  This,  and  all  the  other  Perfect  Sliding  Door 
Patents  are  now  controlled  by  us. 

To  make  such  a change  desirable  and  profitable,  perfect  sliding  doors,  that  can  be 
operated  as  quickly  and  easily  as  swinging  doors,  are  necessary.  This  system  can  be  relied 
upon  to  provide  for  just  such  doors.

Front  End  of  Rail  and  Connections. 

Hanger  is  made  of  the  best  grade  of  cold  rolled  steel,  the  Ball  Races  are  hardened,  and  the  steel 
balls  are  of  finest  quality. 

The  Hanger  and  the  Mute  Bolt  are  united  by  simply  slipping  the  Mute  Bolt  Plate  between  the 
Hanger  Arms.  Weight  of  door  locks  them  securely  together. 

This  combination  of  resilient  Mute  Brace,  detachable  Hanger  and  Mute  Bolt,  prevents  vibration 
and  noise. 

Door  can  be  adjusted  up  or  down  by  raising  it  slightly  to  remove  weight,  then  turning  the 
fluted  nuts  through  slots  in  the  adjustment  caps. 

The  door,  rail,  and  entire  mechanism  can  be  easily  taken  out  and  put  back  at  any  time  without 
injury  to  the  wood-work.

Back  end  of  rail  is  inserted  in  Socket 


and  rests  on  Bracket  at  -B-. 


Front  of  Rail  rests  at  -C-  and  end  is  drawn  downward  by  means  of  the  Rail  Stirrup  Screw, 
to  apply  the  desired  tension  throughout  the  rail,  which  greatly  increases  its  stiffness  and 
firmly  clamps  all  connecting  parts. 

The  Door,  Rail  and  all  front  connections  can  be  easily  taken  out  and  put  back  at  any 
time  without  injury  to  the  wood-work. 


Section  of  Rail. 

This  form  of  rail  affords  great  strength,  is 
made  of  high  carbon  cold  rolled  steel,  planished 
and  heavily  electro  copper  plated.

Hanger,  Rail  and  Mute  Bolt  Assembled 

Showing  section  of  Mute  Bolt  Plate  and  Rail. 

Edges  of  the  Mute  Bolt  Plate  are  bent  downward  and 
bottom  edges  of  hanger  arms  are  bent  upward  at  the  same 
angle.  When  slipped  together,  weight  of  door  Clamps 
and  Locks  them  securely,  and  it  is  then  impossible  for 
hanger  to  be  accidentally  displaced,  for  it  surrounds  the  rail. 

No  danger  from  the  loosening  of  screws  for  NONE  ARE 
USED. 

Hanger  and  Mute  Bolt  can  be  united  or  disunited 
almost  instantly. 


To  supersede  the  wood  soffit  commonly  used.  It  is 
better  and  cheaper  than  wood,  insures  greater  accuracy, 
enables  bringing  the  door  closer  to  the  rail,  also  saves 
labor  worth  more  than  it  costs.

“ Scjuyler”  Noiseless  Self-Adjusting  Roller 
Guide.  (Special.) 


Always  in  contact  with  the  door,  preventing  vi- 
bration and  holding  it  in  true  alignment.  Follows 
the  rise  and  fall  of  self  closing  doors,  mounted  on  in- 
clined rails,  (Automatic  and  Gravity). 

When  this  Guide  is  used,  no  “Friction  Strips’’ 
are  needed  on  the  door  to  protect  it  from  chafing 
against  the  stops  at  mouth  of  the  Pocket.  This 
leaves  a much  better  looking  door,  and  saves  more 
than  cost  of  the  Guide.

“ The  Schuyler  ' Automatic  Sliding  Door . 

Is  intended  for  use  between  kitchen,  dining  room,  butlers’  pantry,  and  many  other  places  where 
such  a door  is  greatly  needed. 

X-Rays  disclose  the  hidden  parts,  showing  how  POWER  FROM  THE  FOOT  is  applied  to  open 
the  door. 

The  HAND  could  not  do  it  better.  One  is  always  free  to  use  either  the  hand  or  foot,  as  is  most 
convenient  for  the  occasion.  No  mechanism  is  attached  to  this  door. 

It  has  been  thoroughly  tested  and  found  satisfactory  in  every  way.  Would  not  spill  food,  break 
dishes,  or  hurt  a child  if  standing  in  its  path  when  closing.

This  Sliding  Door  is  especially  planned  for  use  on  either  side  of  a partition,  no  matter  how  thick  or 
thin  it  may  be,  or  of  what  material  it  is  made.  Can  be  used  in  new  construction,  or  applied  to  old  build- 
ings, to  take  the  place  of  Swinging  Doors. 

This  can  be  done  with  but  little  inconvenience  to  occupants,  as  no  cutting  away  of  the  wall  or 
plastering  is  necessary. 

This  door  slides  closely  along  the  wall,  does  not  encroach  upon  the  floor  space  to  any  appreciable  ex- 
tent, and  furniture  can  be  placed  as  clo^e  to  the  door  opening  as  if  this  door  slid  into  the  wall,  and  the  use 
of  drapery  is  not  interfered  with  in  the  least. 

Many  a house  would  be  greatly  improved  by  taking  out  some  of  the  “much  in  the  way”  Swinging 
Doors,  and  remounting  them  as  Sliding  Doors.

Although  the  Perfect  Sliding  Door  Fixtures  were  invented  primarily  for  use  in  Single  Studded  Walls 
this  fact  does  not  in  any  way  render  them  less  practical  for  use  in  the  ordinary  Double  Studded  Walls,  no 
matter  how  thick. 

Fig.  B Plan  view.  Shows  such  a wall,  the  pocket  or  sliding  space  being  3 inches  wide,  and  lined 
with  half  inch  matched  boards.  This  construction  makes  a finished  Avail  Eleven  inches  thick,  for  2 inch

“Schuyler”  Roller  Centering  Front  Guide.  (Special.) 


This  device  is  intended  for  use  in  case  a door  should  warp  so  it  would  not  center  in  the  Jamb  when 
closing.  Although  this  does  not  often  occur,  we  have  invented  this  Centering  Guide  to  help  people  out  of 
such  difficulties  when  they  do  arise,  thus  forcing  such  a door  to  do  its  work  satisfactorily,  even  if  in 
time  it  should  prove  to  be  a bad  door.  Good  doors  do  not  warp.  Can  be  installed  at  any  time  if  needed. 

Shrinking,  swelling  and  warping  of  doors  has  less  damaging  effect  with  those  that  slide  than  those 
that  swing,  for  there  is  always  plenty  of  depth  in  the  Wall  Pocket,  so  that  the  doors  need  never  be  planed 
narrower  on  that  account,  and  the  effects  of  warping  can  be  overcome  by  the  use  of  our  Centering  Front 
Guide.
